Ballet for Drina

I had not read the Drina books since I was a child and I recently re-read them all. I read the first 5 as a child and then as a teen I hunted down the final 6 once I realized they existed. I am happy to say that for the most part they hold up to the test of time. They are very much in the style of British school stories but I quite like those. I think the whole series is definitely worth the effort it takes to hunt them down.

A charming children's book, beautifully informed by the world of ballet stories that came before it, about Drina and her yearning to learn to dance. Lessons are learned by children and adults alike in this lovely and atmospheric read - I will look out for others in the series.

Aikanaan balettia harrastaneena Anne balettikoulussa -kirja osui silmiini divarissa. Sen jälkeen muitakin kirjoja on löytynyt. Raikasta, iloista kertomusta.
